Good bang for your buck

It’s Mrytle Beach SC, I was impressed to find a course around $50 to play 18 w/ cart. Course is decent, a few greens had some areas on the green that needed some TLC. Fairways are decent. Tee boxes need some attention but are not horrible… Other than that I was pleased.

Nice course for the Money

Played this after it being recommended as a hidden gem in plain sight. I'm an Air Force veteran and they gave me a discount for that, which is nice considering this is the old Myrtle Beach AFB course. Overall it was in good condition even though it had rained really well the prior two days. The greens rolled true, the fairways were well kept and the tee boxes were also in good shape. Watch out for the fox squirrels, they'll steal food out of your cart and they aren't scared of you. Overall it was good and I hope to play it again.

Too much for to little.

I would not play here again. The course was not well maintained. The course for 45 with a cart is worth it, we payed 67.

Nice Round of Golf at Whispering Pines

Great day with my son and daughter at Whispering Pines. The Golf Course was quite suitable to our skill levels and the staff were very accommodating. Greens were a good speed and in good shape. Very handy location to our Resort in Myrtle Beach. I'll play here again.

Awesome, except for a few greens

Overall, this is a good value, especially in April when most courses raise their prices for the season. The only problem is with some of the greens. About a third of the greens have large bald areas and some weed infiltration. Otherwise, the course is in really good shape.

I Will Be Back

Had a great day with my first time playing this course. Staff was gracious and friendly. Course was in good shape, the greens need a little bit more work, as some had too much sand in spots, and bare areas. If I had one complaint, it was the very very slow play, with no Marshal in sight, almost 5 and a half hours to get done, and 25 minutes passed original tee time.
